Today's my last day of work. Had my last supper of sushi with my coworkers and they're taking me out for drinks tonight. I kinda feel bad because I kinda mentally left a week ago. lol.
I have a feeling I won't be working in NY for awhile as I plan to go to Korea before going to Maryland for grad school next June. I can certainly live without some nuances in NY but there will be many more things that I will miss. Looking back on the last seven years, I know I do <3 NY!
A look back::
I’ve come to appreciate working in different places – the financial district,
Madison ave, and
working in garment district.
I think I enjoyed
working midtown on Madison ave the most. The shopping is great,
lots of stuff going on year round by Rockefeller center, good restaurants. Lots
to do at night..
Financial district was
cool too – it’s old school and I think the energy and buzz of money is
more tangible there. I liked working in the WFC – they have events in the
atrium, and I love the water by it but there’s nothing at night. It’s a shame
what happened to the twin towers…I miss it…going outside for lunch and listening
to live music, shopping underground and everything. After 9/11, events like the
orchid show left and went to other places like
midtown…
Where I work now –
there’s way too many tourists b/c of Penn station, Madison Square Garden and Empire State building. And no offense but the type of people here are just kinda
sleazy here. I have never gotten so many sleazy catcalls in my life. Shopping
is not great – I mean the best stores are like Zara, BR, Gap, Forever 21 and
H&M, typical chain stores. But I love working by k-town…I did my k food
grocery shopping there and rented my korean movies.
But I’m more happy to not work for awhile….and
I’m definitely excited about going to cali!
